Question

i have the following problem:
i want a JButton with a line break. i am using the html method to get it done.

<hmlt>Bla<br>Bla</html>

the problem appears if i disable the button. it works fine except on the “html-styled” button. the color from the button stays the same.
on an other button i am just using &#8592+;(without the “+”) and it works fine, the arrow gets grayed out if i disable him.
so i searched some time for the unicode or html number for the line break, but it didn´t work(for example &#10+;)
so can anybody give me an advice? i know it could be done in java, but i prefer the html way, cause it is faster to implement 🙂

See How to Use HTML in Swing Components: ButtonHtmlDemo:

..Note also that when a button is disabled, its HTML text unfortunately remains black, instead of becoming gray. (Refer to bug #4783068 to see if this situation changes.)
